SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard USUM Doubles OU tournament
  • This tournament will be Double Elimination
  • Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.)
  • If you are found signing up under more than one alt, you will be banned from circuit events for life.
  • Activity calls will be made by me, potentially with neutral assistance from a TD. Coin flips will be done on PS!
  • In the event that something is added to or removed from the Doubles OU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round. Doubles Ubers is available as a challenge option if something is banned mid-round.

i just drunk some coffee from a vending machine i found along the side of the road and it was probably too strong for me so to output some of that energy i have decided to write predictions

Winner's Bracket
  • zaaya vs Mishimono and Kiichikos vs egalvanc: I don't really have a huge opinion on this match but I hope these two win so that next round we get a battle between users who sometimes have their name spelt with a double "i" and I can never figure out where it goes
  • Biosci vs Pigeons: I imagine that from his days of working at a pizza outlet Biosci's plenty experienced at dealing with pigeons.
  • Croven vs Sunrose: I have run out of jokes about predicting against Croven but still I must do it. What a cruel world
Loser's Bracket
  • n1n1 vs n10sit: Highlight match of the round for me. Will be interesting to see how n10sit choreographs this game so it looks like he's playing against another player and not just against his own alt.
  • RuffletMuffler vs BLINGAS: BLINGAS has won (and indeed, played) infinitely more games in this Seasonal than in most past ones, so statistically he should win this. Never underestimate the power of Anime Sans though
  • The Idiot Ninja vs Demantoid: Did you know that "Demantoid" is an anagram of "Dominated"?
oh fuck my hands are shaking what was in that coffee
